Seth Aaron Rogen (; born April 15, 1982)〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title =Seth Rogen Biography: Actor, Comedian, Director, Producer (1982–) )〕 is a Canadian American actor, filmmaker, and comedian. Rogen began his career performing stand-up comedy during his teenage years, winning the Vancouver Amateur Comedy Contest in 1998. While still living in his native Vancouver, he landed a supporting role in the series ''Freaks and Geeks''. Shortly after he moved to Portland, Oregon for his role, ''Freaks and Geeks'' was officially cancelled after one season due to low viewership. Rogen later got a part on the equally short-lived sitcom ''Undeclared'', which also hired him as a staff writer. After landing his job as a staff writer on the final season of ''Da Ali G Show'', for which Rogen and the other writers received an Emmy Award nomination, Rogen was guided by Judd Apatow toward a film career. Rogen was cast in a major supporting role and credited as a co-producer in Apatow's directorial debut, ''The 40-Year-Old Virgin''. After Rogen received critical praise for his performance, Universal Pictures agreed to cast him as the lead in Apatow's films ''Knocked Up'' and ''Funny People''. Rogen co-starred as Steve Wozniak in Universal's ''Steve Jobs'' biopic in 2015. Rogen and his comedy partner Evan Goldberg co-wrote the films ''Superbad'', ''Pineapple Express'', ''This Is the End'', and directed both ''This Is the End'' and ''The Interview''. He has also done voice work for the films ''Horton Hears a Who!'', the ''Kung Fu Panda'' film series, ''Monsters vs. Aliens'', and ''Paul''. ==Early life== Rogen was born in Vancouver, British Columbia. His mother, Sandy (Belogus), is a social worker, and his father, Mark Rogen (born 1953), worked for non-profit organizations and as an assistant director of the Workmen's Circle Jewish fraternal organization.〔〔〔Rodrick, Stephen. (2007-05-27) ("Judd Apatow's Family Values" ). ''The New York Times''. Retrieved January 7, 2012.〕 Since Rogen's father is American, he has American citizenship by birth. He has described his parents, who met in Israel on a kibbutz, as "radical Jewish socialists". Rogen has an older sister named Danya.〔 Rogen attended Vancouver Talmud Torah Elementary School and Point Grey Secondary School (although he did not graduate), incorporating many of his classmates into his writing. He was also known for the stand-up comedy he performed at Camp Miriam, a Habonim Dror camp. As a child, Rogen did not want to pursue any career other than comedy: "As soon as I realized you could be funny as a job, that was the job I wanted".〔 He got his start in show business at age 12 after enrolling in a comedy workshop taught by Mark Pooley.〔 His early comedy routines involved jokes about his bar mitzvah, his grandparents, and his camp counsellors.〔 During his teenage years he would perform stand-up comedy routines at places like bar mitzvahs and small parties, later shifting to bars.〔 A mohel paid him to write jokes.〔 At the age of 13, he co-wrote a rough draft of ''Superbad'' with childhood friend Evan Goldberg, whom he had met at bar mitzvah classes.〔 Based on their teenage experiences,〔 Rogen and Goldberg spent the rest of their time in high school polishing the script. They initially worried that ''American Pie'' (1999) had beaten them to the idea for the movie, but they decided that film, "totally avoid() all honest interaction between characters... which is what we () going for."〔 His mother was supportive of his comic endeavours and would often drive him to stand-up gigs at the comedy club Yuk Yuks.〔 With his deadpan humour, he won the Vancouver Amateur Comedy Contest at 16 years old. Also at age 16, Rogen's father lost his job and his mother quit hers, forcing them to put their house up for sale and relocate to a significantly smaller apartment. Around this time, he landed a role on Judd Apatow's television show ''Freaks and Geeks'' after attending a local casting call.〔〔 Despite a strong academic performance, Seth dropped out of high school, began working for Apatow,〔 and relocated with his family to Los Angeles. Rogen paid the bills and had become the main wage earner at just 16.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Seth Rogen」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
